How do tannins kill parasitic worms?
Infection with gastrointestinal parasites is one of the most severe impediments on sustainable production of meat and milk from grazing livestock. Widespread resistance to the small number of available synthetic drugs has rendered continued prophylactic drug treatment unsustainable. One solution is to graze animals on ...

Impact Of Micro Telluric Lines On Precise Radial Velocities And Its Correction
In the near future, new instruments such as ESPRESSO will arrive, allowing us to reach a precision in radial velocity measurements on the order of 10 cm s-1. At this level of precision, several noise sources that until now have been outweighed by photon noise will start to contribute significantly to the error budget. ...

Enhanced superconductivity in atomically thin TaS 2
The ability to exfoliate layered materials down to the single layer limit has presented the opportunity to understand how a gradual reduction in dimensionality affects the properties of bulk materials. Here we use this top-down approach to address the problem of superconductivity in the two-dimensional limit. The trans...

The online Tabloid Proteome: An annotated database of protein associations
A complete knowledge of the proteome can only be attained by determining the associations between proteins, along with the nature of these associations (e. g. physical contact in protein-protein interactions, participation in complex formation or different roles in the same pathway). Despite extensive efforts in eluci...

Deep learning-based reduced order models in cardiac electrophysiology
Predicting the electrical behavior of the heart, from the cellular scale to the tissue level, relies on the numerical approximation of coupled nonlinear dynamical systems. These systems describe the cardiac action potential, that is the polarization/depolarization cycle occurring at every heart beat that models the tim...

An experimental and bioinformatic toolbox for functional epigenomics and its application to epigenetically making and breaking a cancer cell
Epigenetic alterations can be detected in all cancers and in essentially every patient. Despite their prevalence, the concrete functional roles of these alterations are not well understood, for two reasons: First, cancer samples tend to carry many correlated epigenetic alterations, making it difficult to statistically ...

Social motivation is a subjective state which is rather difficult to quantify. It has sometimes been conceptualised as “behavioural effort” to seek social contact. Two paradigms: approach–avoidance (AA) and choose a movie (CAM), based on the same conceptualisation, have been used to measure social motivation in people ...
